Her face was a prize for both her and Leslie. Knocking the female lead down a peg could be considered a record.
"It's okay, I guess you didn't know," Shirley said with a kind smile but her eyes looked sad. Acting should be her career.
" So what do you guys want ? " She asked just to get them to leave them alone. She already guess it but she wanted them to say it themselves.
" We want your table," one of Maryanne's little boy toys said.
As the female lead she kind of has a lot of boys who are only just friends following her and giving her free shit.
" And why should we give our table that we reserved early on?" Leslie chimed in sarcastically wondering where they bought all the audacity. She needed that address.
" Didn't you even have the decency to make a reservation?" Shirley added just to add salt.
" I always sit here every time I'm here so this is my seat and my table," he said like a petulant child. He looked more stupid now.
Both of them rolled their eyes.
" Guess you can't sit here today, " Shirley said ," table is full. "
Before they could say anything,the waiter brought their freshly cooked steak drizzling with source.
The smell was to die for and she could see Maryanne and her group salivating.
She and Leslie both assumed them and started to eat.
"Hey you can't start eating while we are talking to you," the entitled guy who had asked for the table said.
They didn't even look up they continued eating with the others looking at them.
They finished the food fast since they had all been hungry. Shirley was surprised they were still standing there.
What is wrong with this people?
Are they really this socially unaware or just plain stupid?
" Okay we are done, you can have the table," Shirley said. She and Leslie stood up and started to leave.
" Oh and Maryanne you are really lucky, your sister would never sleep with your future boyfriend, " she said letting the silence speak." Only sluts fall in love with already taken men, since you are so kind you wouldn't do that right. Thank God Leslie is already engaged I hope you find a good boyfriend, " she said with sarcasm practically dripping.
" I wouldn't okay, " Maryanne said with a face red.
Leslie's fiance was the male lead of course they had already started to play under the sheets she was creating a premise that if things ever came out, no blame would fall on Leslie.
This was a restaurant the rich go she was sure there would be someone who recognized them.
"What was that for?" Leslie asked confused by her behavior.
" It's just with a greed , am pretty sure she has already gone for Christian."
"But Christian would not betray me, we've been engaged since we were little. "
" And what if he has, just hypothetical? You know Maryanne she has this bewitching thing about her. "
" Then I'll leave that family, he's the only one keeping me there, " she said with finality. Shirley smiled now this was the villainess she knew. Decisive and won't be held back.
" Okay, you have to remember that. "
" I will, I have you. "
" Yes, we have each other. "
"Thank you. So let's get bodycams, we don't know what might happen."
Leslie didn't even question.
" Sure."
Rule 101 of surviving a Mary sue.
.....
Shirley stood Infront of a two story villa, a place the original owner sincerely called home. Their house was in one of the upscale neighborhood in the capital and they had been staying there since she could remember.
She opened the black huge gate and entered. The watch man at the door didn't even look at her.
The disrespect a hired guard had for her showed Shirley's place in the home.
The stood Infront the main door made of oak and breathed out. She was ready for drama.
The moment Shirley opened the door, a vase came flying she dodged to the side.
" Are you trying to kill me?" She shouted at her father who was standing there.
She had not been home the whole week she had been released from prison until the day of the trial.
They must have been pretty frustrated.
" How could you embarrasse us Infront of so many people. The whole upperclass know what happened," her dad said placing all the blame on her.
" Well tell your precious daughter to keep her legs shut," she answered back .
A vein throbbed on the side of his face.
" Your sister would never do that, she said you are the one who came in-between them," her mother shouted appearing from the corner were the stairs were.
What kind of bullshit reason is that.
" Well they can be together now, thank goodness I never slept with him. My morals are a little too high for that," she said noticing the smiling Sharon appearing.
" But we were in love. I'm sorry if you feel hurt but you didn't have to use violence. We are aristocrats we have to act civilized," Sharon said sounding sad.
" For a girl who slept with her own sisters boyfriend, you sure like putting your self on a high pedestal." All their faces turned redder.
" But me and Jason are engaged," she said with smugness.
" Are you pregnant or something?" Shirley asked she wasn't surprised. The cheating guy will probably fall in love with someone else and leave her hanging." You two are a match made in heaven a cheater and a bitch. "
" Shirley if you say another word you will face the consequences, " her dad said.
" But are we all your daughters, so why am I the only one to blame here? " She asked holding onto the last affect she had for the family since they raised her.
" You are adopted Shirley, " Sharon piped in from the back her voice smug .
Okay that surprised even her. It had never been mentioned in the book, probably because she died early.
She turned to look at her parents who had serious faces now.
Oh so they were planning on doing that, typical.
Shirley laughed out loud at this absurdity.
